Subject[PATCH] kobject: kobj_type: remove default_attrs
Date
Now that all in-kernel users of default_attrs for the kobj_type are gone
and converted to properly use the default_groups pointer instead, it can
be safely removed.

There is one standard way to create sysfs files in a kobj_type, and not
two like before, causing confusion as to which should be used.

Note, this can only be applied after all of the "use default_groups in
kobj_type" patches that have been sent to lkml over the past week or so
are applied to the tree. I'll keep it in a branch for now for 0-day
build testing, but will only queue it up probably after 5.17-rc1 or
later after everything is fixed up. Posting it here for review and
archival purposes.
